Swimming is actually very crucial in the life of any person because it is not only a great exercise but is can also be a life saver. If one has never taken west chester swimming lessons before, then here is an idea of how they would actually be. In a nutshell, complete lessons are split into three levels which would be the beginner, the advanced, and the competitive.

In the beginner level, students will first be learning how to float. This is actually the most important lesson because if one does not know how to float, he will not know how to swim. So first, he will be learning the basics of breathing in the pool so that his body can float.

Upon learning how to float, one will now have to learn certain movements so that he will be able to move when in the pool. The most basic move that he would learn is the kick wherein he will kick the water starting with his right foot then his left and just continue. After perfecting this kick, he would add some arm movements as well to create the freestyle stroke.

Once he has already mastered the basics, then he can learn some other new moves like the dog crawl and the frog kick. Now while doing these moves, one must put his head above the water. This will allow him to continue breathing even though he is moving his body.

Once he has learned all of those moves, he can now go on to the advanced levels. The easiest move to learn in the advanced level is the backstroke which is quite like the freestyle but one will now be lying on his back instead of his front. This move is a very relaxing one since he is lying on his back. This means that when he gets tired, he can do this stroke and relax for a bit.

Now the next move that he will be learning would be the breast stroke. This is a move that requires a little hand movement as well as a little bit of upper body movement because he will be pushing his head out of the water to breathe. While doing that, he would be doing frog kicks while under the water.

The final move in the list of the advanced strokes would be the butterfly stroke. Now one will probably find the butterfly stroke one of the most challenging strokes that he has ever tried because it would take a lot of strength. To do this kind of stroke, one would first have to do a dolphin kick while at the same time bring his entire body up out of the pull while raising both his arms.

Once he has learned all of those moves, he is now ready to go to the competitive level. Now he will not be learning any new moves while in this level but he will be refining what he already knows and he would also be improving his stamina by swimming laps back and forth in the pool. When he has finished this level, then he would definitely not need to be afraid of trying to survive in the water anymore.
